Beautiful view and nice stuff for the breakfast specially the Guy who served us is very attentive 👌 He made a very good job he is serving all the tables himself alone and taking care of all the tables in one time .. the breakfast are nice but the service are really good and attentive ❤️❤️
We had an amazing experience at La Terras! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fast, and we had a table with a beautiful view. The live music created a fantastic atmosphere. A special thank you to Muhammed Bey for his outstanding hospitality. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and even took the time to have a short chat with guests, making everyone feel welcome and valued. To finish, we were treated to complimentary fresh, delicious baklava and tea, which was a lovely touch. We highly recommend La Terrasse and will definitely be recommending it to our friends. We can’t wait to come back! Teşekkürler Muhammed bey.
A pleasant atmosphere with a wonderful view of the strait and the ships, we went at sunset and it had a charming and romantic atmosphere. We had a surprise birthday party for my fiancé there and they had a great service for it. There were 3 of us and we ordered 3 of their signature drinks which were tasty and good and we enjoyed them. If you are thinking of a charming place by the strait with a good view, we recommend it, of course 3 drinks with a cake and service cost about 3 thousand liras and it was relatively expensive, but you pay for the charming experience.
Absolutely loved my experience at La Terrasse Karaköy. I originally came for lunch, but the atmosphere was so incredible that I ended up staying for more than 4 hours until the evening — and honestly, I enjoyed every single moment. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Special thanks to Tahir for his kindness, hospitality, and outstanding service that made the experience even more memorable. The vibes here are pure luxury — stunning Bosphorus views, elegant ambiance, live music, and beautiful singing throughout the evening created an unforgettable atmosphere. As for the food, everything was amazing. I highly recommend all the seafood dishes, and the kebab was also delicious and definitely worth trying. But the absolute highlight was the seafood soup — without exaggeration, it was the best seafood soup I have ever tried anywhere in the world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul looking for amazing food, luxury vibes, and unforgettable views.
We chose this restaurant for Valentine’s Day. It’s an amazing place with great service. The menu is fixed, so you don’t get a choice, which is fine. I enjoyed most of the dishes, especially the risotto. However, the portions were quite small, and I didn’t feel full by the end. The meat and the salad were fairly standard with that sauce, and there was literally no music aside from a Spotify playlist. I’m pretty sure the restaurant is much better on a regular day. Even though the night was great and I really enjoyed it, for the amount of money we paid, there are better Valentine’s Day options, in my opinion.🍷
